by Aidan McLaughlin | Mar 2nd, 2019, 2:23 pm
President Donald Trumps raucous speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday clocked in at two hours and two minutes long, making it the longest speech of his presidency.
The speech at the annual conservative gathering hit all of Trumps campaign topics: he blasted the media, calling them sick. He went after Special Counsel Robert Mueller, saying the investigations into him are bullshit. He mocked former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, imitating his Alabama accent. He railed against the Green New Deal and decried Democrats as socialists.
He even embarked on an extensive tangent about a general he says he met on his trip to Iraq, named Raisin Cane, who told him of more efficient ways to launch airstrikes in the region (watch that colorful segment above.)
At the end of the marathon speech, Trump touched on his summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Vietnam, which ended this week with the U.S. president walking away without a denuclearization deal. Trump addressed the controversy he caused by defending Kims role in the torture and death of American student Otto Warmbier, explaining he was put in a horrible position because he wanted to negotiate with Kim without insulting him. A delicate balance, Trump said.

patient person in the world listen to him babble for two solid hours? That's insane!
I bet he keeps up his tours after he's defeated if he isn't in prison already.

but then, like creatures in old time Star Trek episodes, he does feed on hate.

who'd all heard it many times before love 2 hours and 2 minutes of it?
Serves 'em right, grabbing hungrily at moments to cheer.

Keep on talking, dude. You'll hang yourself with your own words.
